COMMITTEE CONTINUES DEBATE ON THE FUTURE OF ENGLISH-LANGUAGE CEGEPS
Over the past two days, the National Assembly’s Committee on Culture and Education resumed its clause-by-clause analysis of Bill 96, An Act respecting French, the Official and Common Language of Québec. They continued their discussion of clause 58, covering articles 88.0.4 to 88.0.12 of the soon-to-be modified Charter of the French Language (the “Charter”). This controversial clause focuses on the language of collegial and university instruction, and sets out the conditions for which students and how many of them may attend English-language CEGEPs.
